A new blockchain that can do email on-chain

Hacker News

Dear HN, As a long-standing member of this community (2007!), I'm really pleased to announce the launch of the Saito project here. http://saito.tech Since you probably haven't heard of us, Saito is a terabyte-level blockchain designed to support email, social networks, payment channels, distributed forums, and other big-data applications directly on-chain. We achieve scale for this by solving the fundamental economic problems with the proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms. If you look into the network design, we think we'll blow your mind! Anyway, we've been reading the discussions here for the past several months about whether blockchains are useful and... well... hopefully Saito is going to end that debate! So if you're interested in blockchain technology or just open-minded, I really hope you'll check us out and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions or questions. Right now we have an online demo, downloadable code on Github, and some resources explaining how Saito works and how to get started building apps with it. Also, I should probably also mention that we're hiring, with the caveat that we're in Asia so anyone interested in joining the team should either be in this part of the world already or happy to work remotely.
